Low-temperature thermal conductivity of impure insulators

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The paper gives calculations on the thermal conductivity of nonmetals at low temperatures in which the specimen is considered to be split up into a number of rods with diffuse scattering at the boundaries. The present approach gives a reasonable fit to the experiments on germanium.

Riassunto

Questo lavoro fornisce calcoli sulla conduttività termica dei nonmetalli a basse temperature, nei quali il campione è considerato tagliato in un numero di bastoncini con scattering diffuso ai bordi. Questo approccio mostra una ragionavole approssimazione con gli esperimenti sul germanio.
